Brandon October - Weeping lyrics

<br>

I knew a man who lived in fear <br>It was huge, it was angry, <br>It was drawing near. <br>Behind his house a secret place <br>Was the shadow of the demon <br>He could never face. <br> <br>He built a wall of steel and flame <br>And men with guns to keep it tame <br>Then standing back he made it plain <br>That the nightmare would never ever rise again <br>But the fear and the fire and the guns remain. <br> <br>It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow <br>He tells the world that it's sleeping <br>But as the night came round I heard <br>It slowly sound <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping. <br> <br>And then one day the neighbors came <br>They were curious to know about the smoke and flame <br>They stood around outside the wall <br>But of course there was nothing to be heard at all <br>"My friends," he said, "We've reached our goal <br>The threat is under firm control <br>As long as peace and order reign <br>I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain <br>Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain." <br> <br>It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow <br>He tells the world that it's sleeping <br>But as the night came round I heard <br>It slowly sound <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping. <br> <br>Say ah, say ah, say ah <br>Say ah, say ah, say ah <br> <br>[Ladysmith's solo] <br> <br>It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow <br>It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow <br> <br>It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow <br>He tells the world that it's sleeping <br>But as the night came round I heard <br>It slowly sound <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping <br>It wasn't roaring, it was weeping. <br> <br>Say ah, say ah, say ah <br>Say ah, say ah, say ah [to end] <br> <br>(Thanks to Gugu for these lyrics)<br>
